Sky Mobile's unlimited data deal cuts £108 off price and is cheaper than O2 and Vodafone
Sky Mobile has cut the price of its unlimited data plan, offering unlimited data for £20 a month, that's cheaper than O2 and Vodafone right now Sky Mobile has launched a surprise sale, slashing the price tags on various device tariffs, with its SIM-only plans among the top bargains. The move sees Sky joining the ranks of O2 and Vodafone, both of whom are currently running sales, heralding an opportune moment for consumers mulling over a new SIM. Data-hungry users may find Sky Mobile's unlimited data offer particularly tempting, as it beats both O2 and Vodafone in the cost-effectiveness stakes amid the ongoing sale. Marked down by £9 monthly, Sky offers unlimited data at £20 per month. A discount from the regular price of £29 a month, it's a £108 saving across the first year of the 24-month contract term. This edges out the competition with O2 priced at £22 and Vodafone at £24 monthly for similar plans. Sky imposes no limit to data usage, customers can surf and stream to their heart's content. Coupled with 5G capabilities – courtesy of O2's network infrastructure – Sky presents a compelling choice for heavy data consumers. Shop the Sky Mobile Unlimited Data deal - here The package is sweetened with European roaming options (though travellers should verify country coverage) and includes limitless calling and messaging services. While Sky Mobile consistently garners praise for excellent value, consumers would do well to weigh up the myriad benefits of alternative providers. Usually vigilant checks on network coverage are advisable, but given Sky Mobile's shared network with O2, connectivity issues with one will invariably affect the other. Vodafone might be your best bet in this case. Their Unlimited Plus package is slightly pricier (it'll set you back an extra £48 in the first year) and boasts a top speed of 100Mbps - shop the deal here. Currently discounted, Vodafone Unlimited Plus is now just £24 per month, down from £33, saving shoppers £108 over the first year, in line with Sky's offer. O2 is also having a sale, with discounts on unlimited data. The O2 Unlimited plan is available for £22 per month in an online-only deal. While this tariff doesn't include all the Extras that come with some of the pricier plans, it does offer unlimited data at a fantastic price. These summer sales won't last forever, with O2's sale wrapping up on 4 June, and Sky Mobile nearing the end of its Week of Treats. It's worth noting that these are SIM-only deals, so shoppers need to purchase the phone separately. This comes with a benefit, as it allows you to change your phone as often as you wish and gives you the freedom to hunt for the best deals, buy refurbished devices or get your hands on the latest phones as soon as they hit the market.

Sky Mobile's unlimited data SIM beats O2 and Vodafone
The Week of Treats from Sky Mobile is coming to its end, so grab this SIM will it's still on offer Sky Mobile is running a surprise sale, cutting prices on a number of device tariffs, with some of the best deals on its SIM-only plans. It joins O2 and Vodafone, who also have sales right now, making it a great time to consider a new SIM. If you're a high data user then Sky Mobile's unlimited data plan might appeal, especially as it beats O2 and Vodafone on price in the latest sale. Discounted by £9 a month, you can get unlimited data for £20 a month from Sky Mobile. It normally costs £29 a month, so you'll save £108 in the first year of the 24-month contract. That's cheaper than O2's equivalent which is £22 a month and Vodafone which is £24 a month. Sky doesn't have a cap on the amount of data you can use, so there's no "fair use" policy here, so you can use as much as you want. With great 5G coverage – powered in this case by O2's network – it's a great choice for those who want to use a lot of data. It also includes roaming across Europe (but check the supported countries before you travel) while you also get unlimited calls and texts. While Sky Mobile is known for offering great value for money, there are some advantages to choosing another network. Normally, I'd recommend checking your connectivity before choosing, but if Sky Mobile doesn't work, then O2 won't work either, because they run on the same network. In that case, Vodafone might be a better option. The Unlimited Plus offering is a little more expensive (it'll cost you £48 more in the first year) and it comes with a 100Mbps top speed. Vodafone Unlimited Plus is also discounted, now £24 a month instead of £33. That's still a saving of £108 across the first year. There's also a sale at O2 and there's a discount on unlimited data here too. The O2 Unlimited plan is £22 a month in an online only deal. This tariff doesn't come with all the Extras that some of the more costly tariffs do, but you're still getting that unlimited data at a great price. These summer sales aren't running for much longer, with O2's sale finishing on 4 June, and Sky Mobile coming to the end of its Week of Treats. It's worth remembering that these are SIM-only deals and you'll have to buy the phone separately. That comes with an advantage, because you can change your phone as often as you like and it gives you the freedom to shop around for the best deals, to buy refurbished devices or to get the latest phones as soon as they launch.
